tv   The FOX Report With Shepard Smith  FOX News  August 16, 2013 4:00pm-5:01pm PDT

4:00 pm
[ laughter ] >> john: did you get the sense they did more than search for the pot? >> thanks for watching "special report." i'm john roberts. good night from washington. have a great weekend. see you sunday morning. >> shepard: this is "the fox report." tonight, cancer doctor scam. accused lying to patients, giving them theme mow they didn't even need and now the victims' families are taking action. plus, the new nsa documents. they are -- their spy something worse than we ever knew they have read our emails and listened to our phone calls thousands of times a year. simple mistakes or a pattern of abuse. tonight, the latest leak about the nsa. and, a paralimp i don't
4:01 pm
paraolympian denied a chance because she could walk again some day. >> i didn't expect this at all. it's pretty shocking. >> they landed her a loss tonight before she could even get in the game. still, this teenager isn't finished with her fight. plus, it's been cloaked in mystery since its creation. >> welcome to area 51. >> now the cia decleafs documents that show what really went on at area 51. why are some sections still a secret? and that is first from fox this friday night. no little green men. no flying saucers. but after decades of denying that area 51 exists now an admission. the documents prove it is very real. but the conspiracy theories are going nowhere. not by a long shot. area 51 is the then secret base in the middle of the nevada desert. about 90 miles north of vegas. the documents that the cia just declassified confirm what many of us have nope
4:02 pm
for years. that the base was the site of secret spy plane programs. those documents don't mention any aliens. much to the chagrin of molder and skully. moon lake area 51 where the military has conducted. >> past 50 years. >> classified experiments involving extra terrestrial technology. >> shepard: folks have been speculating about the area of 51 for decades. trace gallagher is live in our west coast news hub this afternoon. first, tell us more about what these reports detail. >> well, they also reveal, shep, about the u.s. building these secrets u 2 spy planes to spy on the soviets and cold war. the report is 400 pages long and gives very detailed information about the planes, the pilots, even the top secret crashes. the u 2s flew at 60,000 feet which was much higher than any plane had ever flown. when people saw them they
4:03 pm
thought they were seeing ufo's. listen to movie tone news back in the day. >> they are seeing flying saucers everywhere. lots of fantastics disks flying through the air. is there something to it or is it an epidemic of people just seeing things? >> of course, the government explained it away as a national or a natural phenomena but now experts applaud the feds for partially coming clean. listen. >> it also opens the possibility of getting more information about area 51 and programs conducted there because until you acknowledge that it exists, you can't discuss activities that took place there as having taken place there. >> the b 2's and ox car planes were built. it was designed to fly three and a half times the speed of sound. unheard of back in the 1950s, shep. >> shepard: all of that was decades and decades ago. what have they been doing there the last 40 years?
4:04 pm
>> that's a good point. the report only goes from 1954 to it 1974. the last 40 years still very unclear. certainly they are still handling black projects out there. they called them black projects because they are not funding congressional oversight with the funding there. the money sneaks in the back door. even the report that was released was heavily redacted. there is still quite a bit of mystery in first 20 years fueling a lot of speculation about ufos and alien autopsies. experts say do not expect too much more transparency. listen. >> it doesn't tell us that they are going to start declassifying other other area 51 efforts and certainly nobody should expect to be invited for tour area 51 any time soon. >> even back in the day, shep, they lied to the engineers to get them out there to recruit them instead of taking them out in the middle of the desert. they told them they were taking them to a place called paradise ranch.
4:05 pm
shep? >> shepard: trace gallagher on area 51 from l.a. another -- first of all, if you would like to check out those declassified cia documents for yourself. the national security archive has posted them online. we have a link at foxnews.com/shep. it's right under the top story section. now, to that new bombshell from the nsa leaker. the "the washington post" newspaper revealing today new documents from ed snowden. and they show that our government has been illegally reading our emails and listening to our phone calls for years. i'm not talking terror suspects here. innocent citizens. people who did nothing wrong were accuse offed of doing nothing wrong it. it could have happened to any of us, thousands of times. ed snowden gave top secret documents to the "the washington post" according to the report. the national security agency broke privacy rules repeatedly to snoop on americans. happened again and again. it apparently happened every year since the nsa surveillance program began back in 2008. some of the cases were
4:06 pm
simple mistakes like wrong phone numbers. so the government tracked the wrong people. but other cases were much more serious like the nsa apparently ignoring a court order. in one case, the nsa started a new surveillance program without that court's approval. they cannot do that. and when the court finally found out about it, the court slapped down the program as unconstitutional but by then, the sketchy and completely illegal practices had been going on for many months. nsa officials say we shouldn't worry that the thousands and thousands and thousands of abuses are juz a fraction of all the emails and phone calls they are tracking. agency official says, quote: when nsa makes a mistake carrying out its foreign intelligence mission, the agency reports the issue internally to federal overseers and aggressively gets to the bottom of it. in other words, the government polices the government. but as for those federal oversears, congress apparently knew absolutely nothing about these abuses. according to the documents,
4:07 pm
nsa staffers were ordered to remove many details from reports that went to oversight agencies such as the justice department. they can't do that. at one point, nsa officials even decided they didn't need to report on these abuses at all. fox news asked the justice department officials for a comment. we got nothing. wendell goler is traveling with the president on march that's vineyard for us tonight. wendell? >> shepard, late today a spokesman traveling with the president said mr. obama is determined to strike the right balance between protecting security and protecting the privacy of americans. but the fact that the nation's most secretive spy agency briefed reporters today, also suggests mr. obama is desperate to rebuild public confidence in it. the nsa says most of the improper data collection involved cell phones that had had been tracking overseas whose owners brought them back into the u.s. without the agency realizing it but in one instance, the nsa intended to track phones in egypt, country code 20 and the
4:08 pm
computer read area code 202. that's washington, d.c. martin gellman broke the story. >> so it's an innocent mistake. it demonstrates however, the ease of which the nsa either by accidental or can pull in volumes of communications. >> mistakes reflect a tiny fraction of their operations but they say they take every mistake seriously. shepard? >> shepard: wendell goler from martha's vineyard tonight. more people think that the nsa surveillance program will hurt americans than it will help catch terrorists. we conducted a poll last month long before today's revelation. 47 percent said they thought the snooping would hurt. compare that to 41% who believe it would help fight terror. in egypt, the muslim brotherhood's day of rage has left dozens more dead in the streets of the capital.
4:09 pm
bullets blasted through the streets of cairo. amateur video caught protesters jumping off a bridge to escape the gunfire. muslim brotherhood calling for people to continue the demonstrations for a whole week. the rage coming after riot police cracked down on protesters who wereup set about the military coup that booted president mohammed morsi from office. now armed civilians and plain clothes cops are fighting protesters in the streets. police stations reportedly under attack and the most pop police arab nation on the planet is dropping deeper into chaos. jennifer griffin on this story live from the pentagon. jennifer? >> shepard, the general who is calling the shots in egypt is well known to u.s. officials and the pentagon. general abdul studied in the united states at the army war college in carlisle pennsylvania in 2006. he was brought here to
4:10 pm
study democracy. known as a great listener, he encountered many u.s. military officers who had just returned from a very bruising experience in iraq. shareef if a was his instructor. >> i remember him as a very quiet, polite, reflective contemplative individual and he is not, in my opinion, a dictator. >> he wrote a research paper on democracy in the middle east. quote: there are those who believe that democratic rule can coexist with the religious nature of the middle eastern societies. however, on the other hand, there are knows who believe that the tribal culture of the middle eastern countries may not be suitable for democratic rule as too many factions will emerge. it seems the muslim brotherhood is one of those factions, shep. >> shepard: jennifer, the violence in egypt is forcing some companies to suspend operations there. toyota, general motors, is a suzukiy among the places
4:11 pm
closing down plants. more on that coming up inside fox report. now to the doctor accused of giving toxic chemotherapy treatment to people whether they needed it or not so that he could scam the government. in a big way. former patients and their families have formed a support group now and they say they are exploring legal options. that doctor diagnosed people with cancer and gave chemo treatments that they did not need in order to steal $35 million in medicare claims from the government. they say the scam took place over a two year period. the doctor's attorney says the claims against his clients are false. i spoke with a member of that support group today on "studio b." he says his father seen here had cancer and died in 2008 and received chemotherapy from doctor. >> make the office staff member would come out to the parking structure where my father had his car and they would actually administer the chemotherapy right there in the garage as he sat in thinks car.

fort hood shooter today testified that major nidal hasan stood over her during a dramatic confrontation in which both of their guns stopped firing. remember, those officers shot and paralyzed major hasan outside of the medical building where he is accused of injuring 13 people and wounding 30 in 2009. prosecutors today also played dash cam video that shows the officer who testified heading into that final confrontation. major hasan has been representing himself touring the trial and lawyers on stand by to help him have claimed he seems to be trying to get the death penalty. james rosen with the rest of this story from washington tonight. james? >> shep, good evening, army major nidal hasan denies that allegation but has thus far posed virtually no challenge to the prosecution's first 77 witnesses. former fort hood police officer kimberly munley was one of the star witnesses thus far testifying today how she and hasan at one point were firing blindly at one another. hasan shot munley three times. kicked her weapon away and moved in for the kill. i see her standing over me

4:31 pm
president debates on nbc and cnn. the two networks are working on separate programs focusing on the former secretary of state and first lady. carl cameron on the top story at the bottom of the hour. he is he live outside the hotel where the rnc has been meeting in boston. carl, this is an interesting decision. the republican national committee chairman ryan priebus has been complaining about two networks doing promotional videos 2016 in which hillary clinton is likely to be the frontrunner and likely candidate. having said that today when they brought it before the republican national committee it was unanimous voice vote. mr. priebus made a forceful case to make sure that they get what they want, which is no promotion of hillary clinton before these movies. listen. >> we're done putting up with this nonsense. there are plenty of other news outlets. [applause] we'll still reach voters, maybe more voters. but cnn and nbc anchors will just have to watch on
4:32 pm
their competitors' networks. >> cnn and nbc have said that the critics, these republicans should hold judgment until they get a little bit more further down the road with the production because, in both cases they haven't even begun the scripts. what priebus wants to do and what republicans today do try to control how many debates there will be. when they will be held and potentially hot moderators will be. all of those have essentially been by the broadcast and sometimes with partners at the local level whether it's state republicans or others involved in the political process. the idea that the political parties themselves would be making this judgment is a first time attempt and still very much up in the airs to whether or not the rnc will get anywhere with any of the networks. something down the road and something they plan to tackle in the months ahead, shep. >> as you know, new jersey governor chris christie appeared that meeting yesterday. today he approved legislation that would make it easier for children to get medical marijuana. new jersey is one of 19 states that allows chronically ill children to have pot.
4:33 pm
today, the governor approved part of a bill that would allow for ingestible forms of the drug. but he also vetoed some parts of the bill. state lawmakers have to approve those changes before he can sign it into law. a judge in pennsylvania has barred that state from enforcing its very strict and controversial voter i.d. law in the next election. the law would have required voters to present a photo identification at the voting booth. the judge's ruling also stops the state from requiring local election officials to verbally tell voters that photo ids could be required from future elections. november 5th will mark the third straight election in which a court has blocked enforcement of that pennsylvania law. right now, it faces a constitutional challenge in the courts. >> continuing coverage now of the deadly day of rage in egypt and some big named companies are now telling workers in the region to stay home. they include shell, toyota, and general motors, which employs some 1400 workers there. g.m. is has shut down all of its operations in egypt

4:35 pm
there was a third side for the first time we are seeing civilians, residents of cairo getting involved in this. they are angry with the muslim brotherhood and started taking shots at them. the brotherhood itself seems emboldened by today's violence. they are calling for a week long set of protests. on the other hand, given today's violence, that -- those protests may look more like an armed insurrection than anything else. the army is thinking of declaring the muslim brotherhood a terrorist organization. shep? >> shepard: leland as all of this is going on the economy is in shambles. for proof look no more than foreign investments. outside countries infused nearly $11 billion in egypt's economy. that number has s plummeted to 1 billion first nine months of the last fiscal year. remember the u.s. and money under debate for its preliminary now in egypt's military. new york city is fighting new restrictions on the police department's stop and frisk policy that targets minorities. a federal judge this week

the atlanta area that have seen well over 4 inches of rain. flooding going on right now. you really have had so much rain all summer long. and now there is this tropical kind of mess out across parts of the gulf. we don't think this is going to develop into anything concerning tropical wise. all of this moisture is headed back towards areas of the southeast. over the weekend we're going to be seeing another batch of a good 3 to 5 inches of rain and a few areas may be seeing 6 or 7 inches of rain. the flooding is going to be a big concern. atlanta today, temps didn't get out of the 60's. very, very cool, in fact, it's the coolest temperature for this day since you go in towards the early 80's. take a look at your temps tomorrow. nice day across the northeast, southeast, still very cool and down across the west, man, we are still baking 111 in phoenix. that's from the fox weather center right now. fox report will be right back. y to savory.
